Not the prettiest agouti I’ve ever seen but who am I to comment on the relative attractiveness of Central America rodents. I photographed this one enjoying breakfast in Soberania National Park in Panama. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/125th of a second.
His body seems to be a bit confused: not quite a rat, and not quite a squirrel, and a chubby one at that! I’ve never heard of these guys before, so thanks for sharing!

Agree to disagree. He’s adorable!
Yeah, you’re right.

They are odd little guys. Lots of rodents of all stripes out there in the world.
I’m sorry. The first thing I thought when I looked at this picture was that he was eating a piece of poop. Now I can’t un-see that.
Ha. Could be. But I’m pretty sure just a nut.
What is it eating?
